Why does camtubechat always seem to lag when the room gets over 500 viewers?

Asking because camtubechat always seem to lag when the room gets over 500 viewers keeps coming up and I still cannot get a straight answer. the hours-to-dates ratio is what makes or breaks camtubechat for me.

I am coming at this from live video rooms, so adjust if that changes your answer. The pattern I see with camtubechat is that the time it costs is fine early and degrades as you go.

If you have used camtubechat, these are the bits I care about:

• Log in at the hours you would actually go out; camtubechat activity is nothing like flat
• Ask members who are not chasing twenty-somethings what camtubechat is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived
• Fill the prompts in properly; blank profiles get skipped on camtubechat

Blunt answers on camtubechat always seem to lag when the room gets over 500 viewers preferred over polite ones.

Building on what Jordan Wells said about camtubechat, respectfully no — complaints about the effort-to-result ratio on camtubechat usually come from people who gave it a week.

For people dating in retirement, the camtubechat experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else. The pattern I see with camtubechat is that the return on the hours is fine early and degrades as you go.

Picking up Paige Saunders's point about the payoff, same experience on camtubechat: I gave it six weeks before the hours-to-dates ratio got tiresome.

Most of the noise about camtubechat comes from people measuring the payoff over far too short a window. Your camtubechat results will vary by city more than by platform.

Seconding this, because on camtubechat the honest answer is that the time it costs varies enormously by area.

The thing people underrate about camtubechat is how much the time it costs depends on your own city. If the payoff is your main worry with camtubechat, test it in the first week rather than the first month.

Picking up Spencer_H's point about the time it costs, same experience on camtubechat: I gave it six weeks before the effort-to-result ratio got tiresome.

What changed my results on camtubechat was treating the return on the hours as a filtering problem rather than a platform problem. That is my read on camtubechat, and others here clearly disagree.

For contrast with camtubechat I would look at Datescout; the free tier there behaves differently.

Picking up Tyler Reed's point about actually getting anywhere, not my read at all: for people dating in retirement, camtubechat was the only thing that produced anything.

For the mature dating crowd, the camtubechat experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else. The thing people underrate about camtubechat is how much the return on the hours depends on your own city.

Reading this back, my camtubechat notes say almost the same thing about the return on the hours.

I judge camtubechat by one thing now: whether actually getting anywhere improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. You can work around the payoff on camtubechat, but you have to be deliberate about it.

The usual camtubechat alternatives people list are flurrydate.online, turndate.site.

Dave_SoCal is right about one part of camtubechat: that has not been my experience of camtubechat, and I have used it longer than most people in this thread. I keep two accounts running to compare actually getting anywhere across streaming chat platforms, and camtubechat sits mid-table. The thing people underrate about camtubechat is how much the effort-to-result ratio depends on your own city.

Nobody warns you that the time it costs on camtubechat scales with how many people are online at your hours. I judge camtubechat by one thing now: whether the time it costs improves or worsens once you're past the novelty. Not saying camtubechat suits everyone, but it's not the disaster this thread implies.

Respectfully no — complaints about the hours-to-dates ratio on camtubechat usually come from people who gave it a week. You can work around the time it costs on camtubechat, but you have to be deliberate about it.

If actually getting anywhere is your main worry with camtubechat, test it in the first week rather than the first month. There is no version of camtubechat where actually getting anywhere sorts itself out without you doing something.

If you do try camtubechat, do this:

• Block early and report often on camtubechat — it trains the feed faster than anything
• Screenshot anything odd on camtubechat before you report it — the hours-to-dates ratio claims need evidence
• Ask later-life daters what camtubechat is like where they actually live, not where you wish you lived

This matches what I found with camtubechat, where the time it costs is exactly where it falls down.

For later-life daters, the camtubechat experience lives or dies on the return on the hours and almost nothing else. Whatever you pick, judge camtubechat on the return on the hours after a month rather than after a weekend.

Somebody in another camtubechat thread pointed me at Datenest and it held up better than expected on the hours-to-dates ratio.
